View Full Version : DVD-RB doesn't like encoding at 704x576 [v0.78PR]

I've been trying to duplicate a DVD which contains about 3hrs of interlaced material. To achieve a slight compressibility gain, I'm trying to use 704x576 as the resolution. However, the latest version doesn't seem to like that at all. It produces a garbled output, but when I load the script manually in CCE, everything's fine. I have done one similar process before, I think it was with v0.67 or so, at that time I had no problems.

This is the base script I've used:

AssumeTFF()
LeakKernelBob(order=1,sharp=true,threshold=7)
Crop(6,4,-10,-4,true)
BilinearResize(672,544)
LRemoveDust_YV12(4,4)
CNR2()
ConverttoYUY2()
AddBorders(16,16,16,16)
AssumeTFF()
SeparateFields()
SelectEvery(4,0,3)
Weave()

If I change the AddBorders line to (24,16,24,16) and thus get a 720x576 output, everything's ok.

My guess is that there's something in the Rebuilder created ecl file that causes the issue. Can't be simply CCE's fault as the script itself is not faulty. 704x576 is DVD compliant so that can't be a problem either, besides, I've used that resolution on all my non-RB encodes without any issues.

Any ideas?

i always wondered what would happen if you change resolution.

my guess is it rebuilds fine but plays back badly?

if so open the ifo with ifoedit after it is rebuilt and change the file resolutions in the ifos to 704x576 b/c i am guessing they are still 720x576.

No, the m2v file itself contains garbage video, I always check the output of the first few cells. Funny thing is that I have used 704x576 at least once before without this problem. It could be something introduced with CCE 2.7 as the last time I used that resolution, I had 2.67.00.27. Nevertheless, the script works by itself.

Did you check the resolution(s) listed in the .ecl? Is it correct or did you have to change it?

Are you using EclCCE, both manually and via DVD-RB? I think EclCCE can take some settings from the video file (basically droping the video in the CCE encoder window and then filling in some of the settings), where as CCE itself reads everything from the .ecl file. So if the ecl says one thing, but the video is different, in some cases EclCCE will work, but CCE won't. I've had it happen with the framerate, but I don't know about changes in resolution.

I'm not at the computer currently, but I recall seeing 720x576 in the ecl file. However, CCE 2.7 uses the parameter resize=0/1 but I didn't see that in there. I'll try changing the values to 704x576 when I get home and see if it works.

Yep, looks like it works. I changed all width=720 entries to width=704 and now get proper output.
